As Saint Michael's Premier STR, we take this title very seriously, so read on to see what we've done this off season. Harbor Hideaway's in town location is just steps away from everything that St. Michael's has to offer. 2021-we added a pool with a heater for guest stays in the spring and fall. *Please understand before you book, the pool is only for our reserved guests staying at the cottage. The pool will reopen for our 2024 guests on Friday, April 12th.
The 1 & 1/2 story cottage was built in the 1940's. It was completely torn apart and remodeled in the the 90's. Harbor Hideaway has been lucky with great owners. When owners use their property, (vs rental investment) they care about it and for it. We have continually updated. HH is lucky to have owners with beautiful designer tastes, which makes it feel so good to be there. We've always been complimented in our reviews on our comfort and cleanliness. Again, this season, I fully expect many of our guests will speak of their love for the new interior look! If you haven't seen our continued changes, it's time you booked! HH could be a photo shoot for S&L furnishings, it's that beautiful!
The off-season of 2023/24 brought luxe changes to much of HH. Besides the smaller things like new paint in and out; new windows, ceiling fans, and headboards in the bedrooms, mattresses, the bathrooms got a great new fabulous changes and the kitchen! A chef driven design with a stove you'll want to take home with you. New tile floors that look like whitewashed, patterned wood, new cabinets. We will continue to help you get the sleep that every getaway should offer with our new deluxe mattresses made up with resort quality, freshly pressed linens. We think you'll find this beautiful new look of the interior, in addition to the pool and patio, will make your stay feel like you just spent time at a high end resort. We hope all the updates please you, make you smile as you see them, and that they will make you want to come back time after time.
Harbor Hideaway is perfect for 1 to 2 couples, a girls' wknd, a small family, or anyone just in need of a relaxing getaway. HH is also set up for remote work with high speed internet for those looking for a multi-tasking getaway. Our guests have the best of the Eastern Shore living, with restaurants and shops in Saint Michaels, fresh crab from local watermen, delightful boat tours and skipjack rides, the nearby Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and abundant history and charm all around- all while staying in a quaint residential neighborhood.
